Buffett, the Graduate and Gates, the Dropout

Bill Gates got a sense of how a College dropout feels in front of a crowd, but he handled pretty well, reports seattlepi.com. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and business students at the University
of Nebraska are the protagonists of a television special airing Tuesday. The billionaire duo joggled with the student's questions and slid a couple of jokes in there, just as was expected of two old pals. The "Buffett & Gates Go Back to School" special features the two richest men in the world and their opinions on business, ethics and success.

But while Buffet is a graduate of the University of Nebraska, and has little reason to go back to school, Gates is a dropout of Harvard University. Well, in all fairness he did drop out to found Microsoft alongside Paul Allen, so it's not like he couldn't do without a diploma. But nonetheless, Gates answered the student's questions while wearing a Harvard University sweat shirt.

To this, Buffet commented: "I should mention that I am the only college grad up here." But Bill didn't take this to heart. Moreover, he went with the flow joking about his choice of clothes. Bill said that he would have to take the Harvard sweat shirt off later in the day as he was permitted to wear it only for a limited period of time.
